2016 Uzbek presidential election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Snap presidential elections were held in Uzbekistan on 4 December 2016, following the death of incumbent President Islam Karimov on 2 September.[1] The constitution mandated that the election be held within three months of Karimov's death.[2] Interim President Shavkat Mirziyoyev won the elections with 90% of the vote. The elections were described by the Economist as a sham, and by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe as lacking "a genuine choice".[3]
